It seemed that in his mind, being a mother made her some kind of inferior bitch.

Chen Qingzhu always believed that the feelings between people should be mutual.

It is simply a dream to expect her to remain kind to such a heartless child.

"It's just a small matter. I just said it casually. It didn't affect you in any way..."

Pei Xuan defended himself convincingly.

However, Chen Qingzhu didn't want to waste any more time on this hopeless son.

"Someone, send him out of the palace. I don't want to see him."

She ordered directly.

Immediately, two guards from the Qianqing Palace came in and said to Pei Xuan politely:

"Mr. Pei, please."

Pei Xuan finally calmed down a little when he saw the two guards with swords.

After all, he didn't dare let the guards drag him out.

He couldn't afford to lose this person.

Moreover, those powerful people who followed him would easily become disloyal when they saw how he was treated by his cruel mother.

After Pei Xuan left, Chen Qingzhu called Rong Niang over.

"Mother!"

Everyone else in the hall was asked to leave, so Rong Niang regained her lively nature. As soon as she entered the hall, she trotted over and snuggled up to Chen Qingzhu.

Chen Qingzhu wiped the sweat off her forehead and said softly:

"It's nothing important, there's no need to rush."

Rong Niang smiled and said:

"There are a lot of things to do in the cabinet right now. If I spend less time on the road, I can spend more time with my mother!"

Chen Qingzhu's lips curled slightly, revealing a gentle smile:

"If the cabinet is short of staff, add a few more people. Don't exhaust yourself."

"Don't worry, mother. I know what I am doing!"

The two chatted for a while before Chen Qingzhu got down to business:

"I am planning to send you to Qin Province to recruit the rebels. Are you willing to go?"

Rong Niang was somewhat puzzled:

"My mother assigned me a task, so I'm naturally willing to go."

"But... didn't the Qin Province already send Zhu Changming? Could something have happened?"

Chen Qingzhu said:

"That's not the case. It's just that if you go there as the crown prince, it will better demonstrate the sincerity of our Great Xi Dynasty."

"Besides, just now your brother sneaked into the palace to look for me..."

She told Rong Niang about Pei Xuan's performance and her arrangements for him.

"This is a test for him and for the powerful people who follow him. You have to leave the capital so that they can see the opportunity."

Both the capital and Zhili were peacefully incorporated, which meant that Chen Qingzhu was unable to confiscate the property and land of these local tyrants into the national treasury as he did with the wealthy families in the Jiangnan prefectures.

Especially in the capital city, if some of the powerful people of the previous dynasty were not eliminated, there would not be so many manors, mansions and shops to reward the meritorious officials and nobles of the new dynasty.

It would be fine if these powerful people from the previous dynasty behaved themselves and behaved themselves from now on.

But if you ask her to find a crime, you can't blame her for pulling out a bunch of liaoshou.

Rong Niang thought about it for a moment and quickly understood her mother's intention.

I was deeply moved.

Isn't mother clearing the obstacles for her so that her position will no longer be threatened by anyone?

Throughout history, there have been only a handful of princes who have received such unreserved protection from their kings.

How lucky she is.

"I will definitely cooperate with my mother to the best of my ability!"

Rong Niang said without hesitation.

Therefore, Chen Qingzhu convened another court meeting three days later and announced that the prince would be sent to Qin Province to inspect and recruit the rebel army.

Rong Niang only spent two days to make some preparations before setting off for Qin Province.

Even though Chen Qingzhu had given her many talismans to protect her life, she was still a little worried.

After all, there is actually something strange about this kid Pei Xuan.

For example, the recipes for making gunpowder and glass that he once presented to Emperor Yong'an were said to be immortal recipes obtained in a dream.

Emperor Yong'an and the others felt that this was because he was her son, so some of the miraculous things were reasonable.

But Chen Qingzhu knew that she was not a real immortal, but just an ordinary cultivator.
